PROFESSIONAL SNOW FOAM LANCE – Users Manual The professional Foam Lance allows you to obtain high pressure water mixed with detergent, producing foam. The Professional Foam Lance has many design features to allow the user to spray varying distances while creating a wide range of consistencies of foam. By twisting the External Plastic Body/Nozzle (#20) you can create a wide fan flow or concentrated direct flow spray pattern. By twisting the adjustable air intake knob (#9g) you can increase or decrease the consistency of the foam produced. Overall foam consistency or concentration can be regulated by using various concentrations of detergents in the one liter Detergent Tank (#1). It is important to note that the final consistency of foam of produced by the Professional Foam Lance is primarily determined by the type of detergent utilized in the Detergent Tank. User should try varying types and concentrations of detergent to reach the desired foam results. Technical chart Product’s use Assemble the Professional Foam Lance by firmly pushing the clear vinyl detergent suction tube (#2) completely over the brass barb (#3) on the Foamer Spray Head Assembly. The Foam Head Assembly is provided with a ¼” QC nipple inlet for easy connection to QC style couplers. If the lance is to be used with an M22 connection the nipple should be removed and replaced with the included brass M22 fitting. Please note the M22 fitting should only be inserted with the use of Teflon thread tape or commercial thread lock sealant. The foamer may now be connected to a properly set up high pressure cleaner operating at a maximum of 5.3 gpm @ 5000 psi with included pressure regulators and safety and temperature relief devices. Use only fresh, clear water. Ask our technical office before using special or corrosive fluids. It is recommended that pressure washer regulator/unloader be adjusted to a lower pressure/flow setting at initial foamer installation and then adjusted to reach optimal performance/operation. Remember concentration and consistency of foam will depend upon type and concentration of detergent utilized in detergent bottle and also the flow/discharge of the pressure washer and settings utilized on the Professional Foam Lance. When user has finished with each use of the Professional Foam Lance it is important to completely rinse the spray head and detergent bottle and suction tube with clean, clear water to assure correct operation the next time the Foam Lance is used.
